Books, Books, and More Books!

Carle, E. (1986). Papa, please get the moon for me. New York, NY: Simon & Schuster, Inc.

This is a fiction book about the moon. I think it would be a great introduction into a lesson on the moon for young children.

Curtis, J.L. (2010). My mommy hung the moon: A love story. New York, NY: HarperCollins.

Again, this is a fiction book about the moon. It is a sweet story that I think would be great for young children.

Mcnulty, Faith. (2004). If you decide to go to the moon. New York: Scholastic Press.

This book puts a fictitious spin on a non-fiction book. I believe it would be a great book to use for the students that get bored simply reading facts.

Simon, S. (1984). The moon. New York, NY: Simon & Schuster, Inc.

This is a great non-fiction text to answer a lot of inquiries that young children may have about the moon.

Simon, S. (1992). Our solar system. New York, NY: Simon & Schuster, Inc.

This is a fiction book based on our solar system. It is very factual and helpful for any grade.

Simon, S. (1988). Galaxies. New York, NY: Seymour Simon.

This is also a great factual book based on the universe. I would use this to teach about the way the universe works. It would be a great launch into a lesson.

Rabe, T., Ruiz, A. (1999). There’s no place like space: All about our solar system. New York,     NY: Random House, Inc.

This is a great book. It puts the spin on the old saying “there’s no place like home.” I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and I think children would love it.

Branley, F. M., Emberley, B. & E. (1960). The moon seems to change. New York, NY:    HarperCollins.

This is a fantastic non-fiction book about the phases of the moon. I think it would be a great entrance into this project for children!

Branley, F. M. (1961). What makes day and night. New York, NY: HarperCollins.

Again, this is a great non-fiction book about the sun rising and setting and the moon rising and setting. It has a lot of factual information that would be helpful.

Branley, F. M. (1963). What the moon is like. New York, NY: HarperCollins.

This is another non-fiction book that explores the moon. I think it does so in an interesting and non-boring way which is always great for children.
